Shiitake Miso Gravy

Warm the broth on the stove in a separate saucepan, until just barely simmering. Stir in the miso until dissolved, remove from heat and set aside.

Melt the butter over medium heat, then add the garlic and shallots, cook for 5 minutes until fragrant. Add the herbs and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are golden and nicely seared in places, about 10 minutes.

Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the mushrooms. Let cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Then add the broth and bring to a simmer. Let cook, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes until thickened and glossy.

Season with black pepper and salt, taste and adjust seasoning to suit you. Serve immediately. Say thank you and enjoy.
